Tue, 18 Jun 2013 13:09:29 +0000http://www.vg247.com/?p=379713#comment-499423I think what’s being said here is that they make the game they want to make, rather than the game marketing tells them to make. This is actually very unusual. I remember when Electronic Arts did that, and we had Mirror’s Edge and Dead Space because of it (and yes, the first Dead Space was very good, before it devolved into a witless, popcorn-munching action shooter).

Whilst I’m not completely interested in what they do since I’m drifting further and further away from the more typical forms of fantasy, I do respect that they’re creating the games that they want to, and they’re still willing to treat their users like they aren’t idiots. One thing I’ve always respected about the Witcher games is that, similar to my favorite developers, they’re willing to tackle issues and put throw some genuine consequence into the mix.

The last two mainstream RPGs I can remember which did that were New Vegas and Mass Effect 3. And Mass Effect 3 was mostly just with the ending because the best ending there was a very transhuman, symbolic one that went whoosh over the heads of most gamers. (Which isn’t all that surprising.) I’d like to see more developers creating games for the sake of making good games, rather than making games which fit demographics.

For once I understand the reason behind your thinking ! They are really good at what they do.

Mon, 17 Jun 2013 16:01:55 +0000http://www.vg247.com/?p=379713#comment-498667I’m planning to buy the newest videocard when Witcher 3 will come out. I hope that 800 series of geforce will come out.
To play on ULTRA settings and with Redkit tools.

I’m such a CD Projekt R fanboy. I played all their games at LAUNCH and have all limited editions.
